Passport Thread7

[foxymom]

^try mo pa din yung contact mo sis - for sure meron pa din kilala yun.

biro mo, dfa sec na contact namin and it still took 12 working days to release...

[mama squeak!]

Mas okay pa pala yung contact namin sa DFA. When my Mom's passport got stolen and she needed to replace it asap kasi she was leaving for the states plus she needed to apply pa for a US visa, it only took 5 working days for the replacement. This was late last year yung tipong nagkakagulo sa DFA.

This time though I don't want to use our contact for my passport renewal. I'm saving that for emergency purposes lang.

 

[foxymom]

^yup, i think things have gotten really bad now. yung samin, we started asking for help around mar 10 because i started reading reports here that there were delays in releasing. buti na lang talaga meron gt!

[tennisgirl]

^naku sis foxymom, nung nagpunta ako dun may nakita kami nung katabi ko na may naka-post na "expect some delays" yata yun...

[foxymom]

^i saw those signs nga when i picked up our passports. kainis talaga...

[Lei_Glee]

hi everyone!
question, kapag ba kukuha ka ng passport like if you are an ofw and you are based sa middle east, may mga appointment dates din sila doon? or punta ka na lang sa embassy to renew your passport?

[princess lorraine]

hay kainis supposed to be dapat sg trip namin ni hubby on april 22-26. he had his appearance in dfa last march 9 and sabi there will be delays daw sa passport renewal. ang normal daw ngayon is 25 working days. so binilang namin april 13 siya but sabi ng travel agency namin expect some delays daw so hubby and i just decided to move our trip to june 13 to 17 nalang in time for our 3rd wedding anniv. so we paid the corresponding rebooking fees and siyempre void na yung 2 uss tickets na paid narin na dapat is on april 25. tapos bigla kahapon tumawag yung travel agency and sabi ready for pick up naraw sa office nila yung passport ni hubby! kainis talaga!!! so 16 working days kinaya naman pala eh sana sinabi nalang nila dati na aabot naman kami. haaaayyy. sayang ang rebooking fees and uss tickets malaki rin yun pangshopping ko rin sana

[tennisgirl]

^baka naman kaya ginawa na ng dfa na 25 working days ang regular processing kasi kasama na dyan ang delay.

[sachism]

naku sis sayang.. parebook ulit... 

san pala mga sis banda ang parking sa DFA?

[mama squeak!]

^Just across the street. It's not really a proper parking lot more of a make-shift one pero pwede na pagtyagaan.

[foxymom]

^naku... sayang... but what you did was right. kasi di mo talaga masasabi if ma-release ng maaga...

one good news from this is that hopefully dfa already fixed its problem and thus nakakahabol na sila sa mga back log nila..

[staywithme]

nag-renew ako ng passport 2 weeks ago. ang haba ng pila at hindi pala talaga pwede makapasok kung hindi pa yung oras na nakaschedule. ang aga ko pa naman dumating don, tagal ko tuloy naghintay. mabuti pa yung mga late, pinapapasok pa rin kahit past their schedule na.

mabilis lang ang process from start to finish, matagal lang talaga sa paghihintay na makapasok sa loob kasi marami applicants.

[tennisgirl]

sabi ng boss ko sira daw ang machines ng dfa kaya inextend na lang nila yung validity ng ibang passports...kung alam ko lang na pwede pala, sana nagpa-extend na lang ako 

@foxymom: what do you mean sis? ok na mga machines nila? 

[foxymom]

^what i meant was, since princess lorraine's husband's passport was released ahead of schedule, dfa is starting to catch up with their backlog

[tennisgirl]

^naku sana nga foxymom 

[Lei_Glee]

Princess Lorraine,
Oh that is weird sis. Saying ang tickets mo, but look at the bright side na lang at least may passport na si hubby mo hehe! When I renewed my passport di na kami nag travel agency kasi halos wala na rin silang gagawin for you.

Sachisim,
Parang no parking ata sa may dfa sis but yup across the street pwede ka magpark.

Staywithme,
Sis I went a few minutes before my time sa dfa. Like mga 30 minutes ata before  the sked but pinapasok naman na ako, early morning ang sked ko.

mga sis,
question, kapag ba kukuha ka ng passport like if you are an ofw and you are based sa middle east, may mga appointment dates din sila doon? or punta ka na lang sa embassy to renew your passport?

[billy]

Sa April 6 na kami

[sachism]

wow.. sis.. kami din sa April 6.

as in ang dadalhin lang ay

NSO birth cert ni baby
application form
parents' passport

May dapat bang damit si baby or mga applicants? collared shirts, etc?

Excited nako sana madali lang

[staywithme]

@Lei_Glee, pinapasok ka agad doon sa building mismo o sa labas lang, sa waiting area? kasi ako, nakaschedule ng 11:30am pero almost 1pm na nakapasok sa building, don sa glass door. ang dami kasi applicants that time.

[lilstar]

My brother was schedulued last Wednesday for a renewal. Ayun, 15days daw talaga ang process ha, so sa April 20 nya pa makukuha. hayyss.. Goodbye Guanzhou!

Pero infairness na accomodate pa sila kahit late sila.. hehe.. malamang late din natawag ang batch nya nun..
